In a financial disclosure filed June 13 with the US Office of
Government Ethics, US President Donald Trump reported earning
$57.4 million from World Liberty Financial—a crypto venture he
launched alongside his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric. The form also
reveals he holds 15.75 billion governance tokens in the project,
giving him direct voting power over its direction. Related Reading:

Tensions Erupt Trump’s Token Windfall According to the disclosure,
Trump’s income line reads “$57,437,927.” It doesn’t say if he sold
tokens, earned staking rewards, or used another method. But the
number is huge. It hints that he either cashed out part of his
stake or that an internal valuation put the tokens’ worth very
high. Massive Fundraising Rounds Based on reports from March, World
Liberty Financial raised $200 million in its first token sale. A
second round pulled in $250 million. That brings total fundraising
to roughly $550 million. The project kicked off in September 2024.
It aims to offer DeFi services and dollar-pegged stablecoins as an
alternative to banks. Big Investors Join In Tron founder Justin Sun
invested $30 million in November 2024. He got 2 billion WLFI tokens
at an early price of $0.015 each. Web3Port added $10 million in
January 2025, and Oddiyana Ventures also came on board. They didn’t
say how much that fund put in. These bids suggest major players
believe the project can grow. Ethics Questions Loom Based on the
ethics filing, Trump still has roles in related holding companies
like CIC Digital LLC and CIC Ventures LLC. But income from those is
small or zero. The form carries his certification that everything
is “true, complete, and correct to the best of [his] knowledge.” It
will be reviewed by the Office of Government Ethics. Related

The disclosure also notes his past digital ventures. He previously
reported earnings from NFT projects such as Trump Digital Trading
Cards. This time, no new NFT income shows up. Instead, all the
focus is on World Liberty Financial. That venture now stands as the
biggest piece of his crypto footprint. Critics will point to
potential conflicts of interest. A sitting president profiting from
tokens that grant voting power in a financial project raises
eyebrows. Supporters might argue it’s just savvy investing. Either
way, the numbers are out in the open now. And the public can see
that Donald Trump made a hefty gain from a startup he helped
launch—and that he still holds sway over its future. Featured image
